Now this was a big surprise! It's wonderful to feel like the luckiest girl in the world, and boy did I feel like it when presented with my engagement present!
A sunning deck. Just for me. On top of our second story building, and well above tree line. 10 feet by 12 feet, and with expansive views to forever! 
The staircase was put in as I'm uncomfortable with heights and I once slid most of the way down this roof one winter climbing up here when it was quite icy. To access it, I climb the steps to our Gathering Room and walk on to the first story roof to the left, which is almost nearly flat. Then I can climb onto this step/ladder to get to my special place!
The view down from the top. This was constructed when I was on an overnight trip to Fairbanks. Besides being a wonderful place to sun (no shade from trees, no bugs as it's so high), it's also a perfect, perfect, perfect yoga spot and I've started doing my morning Sun Salute up here, looking directly at the eastern sky. It's the most endearing and love-filled present I've ever received, and I feel lucky that it's from my wonderful guy.
The Land Cruiser out on its first summer foray....taking a little break from construction projects, of which I'll post pictures probably tomorrow.
And a chicken shot. Happy, happy birds. The chicken yard encompasses a good extensive section of forest, and our birdies really turn into jungle fowl once again! Here are 5 of the 16, nestled in dirt, and living the kind of life a chicken is meant to live.

OMG that is soooo sweet of him! I didn't get that bit in the pics he sent of the new roof ;) Enjoy! I have seen on my weather website that you've had some really nice days.
And how about the massage table, have you been able to put that to any use?
HOLY CATS! I can't believe someone with a fear of heights could scale that!
But then, that's what sweet, endearing love is all about isn't it?
Giving the one you love, something that could only have come from the heart...
And the other, accepting such a beautiful gift with no thoughts of anything other than pure the pure joy in why it was given!
Take delight in each dawn, Jenny!
Just WoW!
This is such a lovely present to you - you must be absolutely loving it! And it looks like it's really high up there too and constructed so beautifully - what views you have also! Can't wait to see it in person!
Maddi, we have put the massage table to use! It's so nice that it's a portable one. It's now upstairs in the new room and will probably reside there permanently as it's a much more restful place up there than in our cramped little house.
I'm going to have to get out my massage books again, though, as I've forgotten many specific techniques. And with paddling season starting up, I think we'll really use it!
I trust the builder gave due thought to the increase in snow load based on that flat surface!!
